  • Reason
    Unintended hanger bar detachment: the locknut on the scales may loosen during use and allow the hanger bar assembly of the patient lift to detach and fall.
  • Action
    Arjo sent Urgent Device Field Correction Notification letters dated 12/19/07 to the end user accounts who received the affected scales, advising them of the potential for the hanger bar assembly to detach. The accounts were given the option immediately stopping use of the lifts with the affected scales or removing the scales from the lift so the lift can continue to be used. Instructions for removal of the scales were provided with the letter. The accounts were requested to complete and return the enclosed customer response form, acknowledging the receipt and understanding of the letter, and indicating whether they will complete the correction upon receipt of the correction parts or if they require the assistance of an Arjo Service Technician.
